Is there any way how this would be resolved?
I can easily imagine that two courts, no matter whether they are in the same or different countries, would decide differently in grey areas like non-GPL modules or the GPLv2 and private keys.
If the two courts are in the same country there's usually a higher court above both that can resolve this. But what if let's say the highest court in the USA and the highest court in Germany would disagree on such a matter?
